Hello,
I am using the gcc version:
2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)
I know how to report typical bugs that show up as seg faults in the
compiler. However, I have a different problem:
the compiler lets me evaluate the address operator on a non-existent member
of a structure
The preprocessed file that triggers this is large. A smaller sample does
not trigger the bug. This is rather urgent, I think, because the compiler
translates erroneous code into binary. The binary program (a kernel driver)
then crashes the system in very subtle ways, difficult to track.
A previous version of gcc (Red Hat Linux 6.2) does not allow this syntax
error.
Please let me know your preferences how to report this.
